Queen Elissa allowed a few more questions but when a reporter boldly slipped in Kihani’s question about the child he and the judge had she scowled and indicated the interview was over.
“Actually, I’d like to say something about that. Sorry, I’m not going to directly answer the question because it’s rude. I’ll be honest. I thought the obsession with ‘celebrities’ was a human failing. I was really disappointed to find Altarians were afflicted with this issue too. I don’t understand the compulsion to know intimate personal information of people who are basically strangers. Knowing doesn’t make you friends with that person. That’s an illusion and an unhealthy one. There are people I admire but I act on that admiration by respecting their privacy.”
Jack turned his face back to Gwendolyn who cooed as she awoke and he nuzzled her once more. He grinned in delight as a smile appeared on her little face.
Queen Elissa and Diana guided the reporters out of his room then he was alone with his children. He suddenly realized why Elissa had brought them along. She was showing the Altarian people that she trusted him, the big bad wolf, with her babies. There could be no greater display of trust and faith than that! When she returned he gave her a look of awe and she knew he’d figured it out.
“That’s why I’m Queen,” she said quietly with a smile.
“May I kiss the Queen?”
“May you? I think you’d better!” she grinned as she sat on the edge of the bed and leaned in to take her reward.
When she pulled back they were both panting just a little.
“Wow! The Queen is very sexy!” Jack rumbled.
Max took that moment to sneeze and the intimacy was lost as they both chuckled.
“What time is it?” Jack asked suddenly. The clock beside the bed indicated it was almost noon! He was late for work!
“That’s the second reason I’m here. It appears you haven’t been taking your vacation days. Any of them. Both of your offices got in touch with my office and they brought it to my attention. As of today you are on vacation!”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“But- but I don’t need a vacation! I love my job!” Jack exclaimed.
“We know you love your job and you will love it even more after you’ve taken your legally mandated vacation time,” Elissa said patting his knee.
Jack sagged back against the pillows and cuddled the babies a little more. He snorted out a breath and nodded. “Well… I can handle a week. Shouldn’t be too bad.”
“Four.”
Jack gaped at Elissa. “Four!?!” he barked.
Maximilian and Gwendolyn weren’t impressed with their Dad’s outburst and began to fuss. Elissa reached in and scooped up her children and carried them out towards the living room. She paused at the doorway and looked back.
“Four weeks. You are not to set foot in either of your offices for four weeks. You may see your coworkers socially, I know you enjoy your movie nights, but no discussing business. They will all report to me if you are violating this rule and that will just extend your vacation time. Is that understood?”
“I know it may sound strange but I feel like I’m being punished.” Jack complained.
“You’re not. This actually helps defuse the public’s unease as we are spinning today’s little emotional outburst as a symptom of your fatigue. Your work record is public knowledge. The people will see that you haven’t taken a break in a long time so they will accept you need some downtime. Well, they’d need it at least so they’d expect you to as well. Try to enjoy your time off!” With that said and a smile on her face she left.
Once again, Jack was amazed at how well Queen Elissa took care of her people. She knew he was no danger to the Altarians but she also knew how to ease the instinctive fears of her people. The Altarians were a civilized and reasonable race of beings. Give them a reasonable answer to explain his reaction and they would gratefully accept it. He’d just have to be on his best behavior for a while.
Four weeks! The longest he’d been away from work was eight weeks but that was during a bad time between jobs back on Earth. His upbringing drove his need for work. The tough times his parents had gone through really honed his work ethic. His father in particular taught him the value of a solid days work. It didn’t really matter what it was as long as you did your best and made a contribution to the improvement of the lives around you. His mother had the same ethic but women had a particularly difficult time finding work on Earth during that time. These were bitter sweet memories for Jack so he gave his head a shake and threw back the sheet to get out of bed.
That’s when he saw he was naked. All those reporters had been in his bedroom and the only thing between them and his nakedness was a single, thin sheet? He scowled at the bedroom door but smartly the ladies were leaving him alone.
He stepped into the bathroom and took a quick shower as he still felt a little funky from his run. Someone had given him a sponge bath but he needed to be clean. The residual ache from the stun gun gave way to the heat of his shower.
That taken care of, he dressed casually and left the bedroom.
Queen Elissa had left with his babies but Diana and SennLann were relaxing on the couch. Jack could hear the Phem Kalos female purring from where he stood as Diana massaged the other’s feet.
Diana’s face was a little flushed as she rubbed her thumbs against the other’s foot pads and gently stroked her fingers over the bridges.
“Jaaaaaack, Diana’s making my feet feel soooooo gooood,” the feline purred.
He knew Diana’s xenophilia was kicking in as she moved her hands over the Phem Kalos’ feet. He’d left her in a sexually charged state when he left the apartment this morning so he supposed he was at least partially responsible for this.
There was a high pitched ringing from down the hall and SennLann’s mobile ears twitched and swung in that direction. “FennLann!” she squeaked and pulled her feet back from Diana’s hands. She quickly leaned forward and kissed the woman on the lips then shot over the couch to sprint down the hall to get her lover’s call.
Diana looked after the fleeing female then looked up at Jack with wide desperate eyes.
“Hello woman,” he whispered breathily as he knelt over her on the couch and brought his mouth to hers. Her mouth was demanding and he went with it, giving her as much passion as she was demanding.
When he pulled back she looked into his eyes and he saw something new in her gaze. A need. He looked at her questioningly.
“The fierceness… from earlier… take me. Hard,” she whispered as she begged him with her eyes.
Ah, the rage. She’d had a flash back to one of her previous boyfriends and her confusion of passion vs brutality was in full swing. He couldn’t be cruel to her but he could definitely give her pleasure hard and fast. He could give her what she needed without giving her what she’d had.
Jack sat up quickly and pulled her to her knees. He spun her around and took a grip on the luxurious hair on the back of her head and pushed her down onto the arm of the couch. This left her ass sticking up in the air.
With his other hand he yanked down her yoga pants and panties. She squealed at his rough handling and he gave her ass a quick couple of slaps, one for each cheek. She gasped at the stinging and her head went back. He pushed it back down and rubbed her wet pussy lips with his other hand. He felt her fingers rubbing her clit in circles. She was dripping wet and moaning loudly as she pushed back against his fingers. He licked them clean then shoved them deeply into her pussy. Up came her head again as she wailed out her pleasure. She needed no further foreplay so he released her hair, yanked down his shorts and underwear and wiped her juices over his cock.
Diana looked back at him with a hot look then howled when he drove his cock deep into her pussy in one hard thrust. He gripped her hair once more and pulled her head back as he slammed himself deep again and again. The wet slap of his pelvis against her ass showed how wet she’d become. He slid a hand up under her shirt and squeezed her breast, tugging her nipple roughly through her bra.
“FUUUUCK! OH JACK! FUCK ME!” Diana cried out.
He ducked his head down next to hers and growled menacingly in her ear as he rubbed his horns against the side of her head. He felt her immediate response as her pussy clamped down on his cock. It worked for the Altarians and apparently it worked for Diana as well.
“AAAAHHHHHH!!!” she screamed as her orgasm shook through her catching Jack off guard. He didn’t expect her to reach release just yet and he was a ways off. He ground against her and her body tremored and shook through the aftershocks. He felt her trying to pull away so he slipped himself out of her and she slumped to the cushions of the couch.
He kissed her cheek and she smiled with her eyes closed.
Jack walked into his bedroom and cleaned himself up in his washroom. When he returned to the living room SennLann was sitting on a chair watching Diana. She’d pulled a blanket up over the woman. When Jack caught her bleak expression he gestured for her to follow him out onto the patio. He sat on a chair and SennLann took the other one across from him.
